Tv

I’m nervous about being on TV.
Everyone in this world or at least this country may see me.

Is my hair okay?
Any strands left astray?

Is my make-up alright?
Is my lipstick too bright?

What on earth am I going to say?
What if I stutter and become the laugh of the day?

Uh Oh, my time is up.
Oh well, wish me luck.

Were you really on T.V. I haven't watched T.V. in a VERY long time, but you totally nailed the mentality in this write:) Well done!
